Bulletproof your hamstrings
Bulletproof your hamstrings & ensure you remain injury free throughout the season!🦿
⚠️ Hamstring injuries account for a high percentage of non-contact injuries in football, largely due to the amount of sprinting and high intensity movements involved, along with explosive changes of direction.
⚽️ In football, sprinting performance is crucial for match performance.
‼️ The hamstring muscles are important for sprinting as they eccentrically decelerate knee extension during the swing phase, followed by hip extension and knee flexion in the stance phase to generate horizontal forces.
👉🏼 So strong hamstrings, particularly eccentrically, will benefit high speed running, which in turn will improve performance on the pitch.
🤔 Research has also shown how eccentric hamstring exercises can reduce the risk of injury by as much as 51%.
